The five tiers
Each band of your monthly use is priced separately, for water and for sewage:
| Monthly use | Price per m³ (water + sewage) |
|---|---|
| Up to 15 m³ | SAR 0.15 |
| 16–30 m³ | SAR 1.50 |
| 31–45 m³ | SAR 4.50 |
| 46–60 m³ | SAR 6.00 |
| Over 60 m³ | SAR 9.00 |
Then a meter service charge (SAR 5 a month for most homes) and 15% VAT are added. Homes not connected to the sewage network pay the water part only.
Example: 35 m³
| Part | Amount (SAR) |
|---|---|
| First 15 m³ × 0.15 | 2.25 |
| Next 15 m³ × 1.50 | 22.50 |
| Last 5 m³ × 4.50 | 22.50 |
| Meter charge | 5.00 |
| VAT 15% | 7.84 |
| Total | 60.09 |
Keeping the bill down
- Fix leaks quickly. A dripping tap or a running toilet can add several cubic meters a month.
- Watch the 30 m³ line. Above it, every cubic meter costs three times as much.
- Use full loads in washing machines and dishwashers.
